Chapter 253

Song Jingcheng was released from prison and returned to Yulan Courtyard. His days were spent simply eating and sleeping. Yao Yun'er felt that he had suffered enough during his time away, and being willing to indulge him, she let him be and said little. Every morning, she would wake up to simmer some meat porridge. As Song Jingcheng preferred not to rise early, she never called him, allowing him to rest as much as he needed. Having once spent time in prison herself, she knew what it was like; she felt deep heartache for her son, wanting to give him time to adjust and hoping that this ordeal would not break his spirit forever. Whenever she found an opportunity, she would mention plans for the future. The past no longer mattered; what mattered was what lay ahead. Whether Song Jingcheng took her words to heart was unclear; he never responded, nor did his expression change. Yet, he no longer argued with her as he once had. In Yao Yun'er's eyes, this was already a significant improvement.
